What I liked

Everything was brilliant, so well illustrated, visual, engaging every sense – from the moving cards, voice on the old mic, the scent of the baking cake to even having the audience throwing candy… Emotional singing and very well and tatstefully used puppets. The balance in telling a very sad story in a beautiful and not overwhealming way was fully achieved.

What I didn't like

I think the show is great as it is. Maybe a mic on the actor could help the voice be heard better, but in a small stage not having a mic creates a more intimate atmosphere, so not sure that would even be an improvement.

My overall impression

I LOVED every minute of it. Profoundly deep and touching. Would love to see it over an over; it deserves a big stage. A must see for everyone, no matter of age and religion. And you get a piece of the best chocolate cake on Earth at the end! (Seriously.)
